Letter to Baby

Dear Baby (or Babies J),
                Daddy and I were so excited to find out about you this week.  You should know that we’ve been hoping and dreaming of you for a very long time.  I’ve cried a lot over this past year…worried that you might never come.  But I now know that it just took some extra time to create something so perfect. 
I found out about you five days ago on December 11th.  It was a Tuesday morning.  Your daddy had already gone to work and I was lying in bed thinking about the possibility of you.  This is something I’ve done countless times over the past year.  I was supposed to find out about you the next day by going in to my doctor’s office for a blood test, but I just couldn’t wait that long.  So I took a digital home pregnancy test.  After three minutes, I grabbed the stick and saw the words “Pregnant”.  I instantly became giddy and couldn’t stop smiling.
I decided at that moment, that I would come home from work over lunch to tell your daddy.  I put the positive pregnancy test in a gift bag with a book I bought almost a year ago called, “Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad!”  When your daddy came home from lunch, I told him I had an early Christmas present for him.  He opened it and I instantly saw a look of relief come across his face.
That was less than a week ago.  Since then I’ve had two blood tests that have confirmed that you really are in there.  I’ve been trying to take care of myself by eating more vegetables.  I’m making your daddy eat them too! We can’t wait to meet you in August!

                                                                                                            Love,
                                                                                                            Mommy
